Im new here, Im new to having snakes and Im freaking out. My ball python has had nothing but problems since I got her and I feel horrible. She had a bad shed a while back and I had to soak her until her skin finally all came off, and she didnt eat for two months and has finally eaten 2 mice in the last month. I was so excited and happy that I had finally gotten it! Someone told me her bad shed was due to her being too dry, so I started misting her, is that right? And I lifted her up today, and her skin is all crunchy like she is about to shed, but her belly is really squishy and her scales and kind of puffy? There appears to be blood under some of them and I dont know if she burnt herself on her heating pad, or if she has scale rot...or what to do at all!!

I have included photos, please help me!
